A DOWNBEAT Ian Millward admitted his Castleford players were asking questions of each other after watching them slip to yet another defeat.

The Super League’s bottom side conceded nine tries as they were swept aside 48-18 by St Helens at Langtree Park to lose for a sixth time in succession.

After losing to his former club a visibly downcast Millward said: “I think some players are a little bit disappointed with other players’ inability to stay consistent.

“I think some players are disappointed that they can show some facets that are quite appealing but then others that aren’t up to scratch at times. If we get a bit of ball we can score some points but you have also got to defend when you don’t have the ball.”
